<content type='text'>
The IMA binary_runtime_measurements list is currently in platform native
format.

To allow restoring a measurement list carried across kexec with a
different endianness than the targeted kernel, this patch defines
little-endian as the canonical format.  For big endian systems wanting
to save/restore the measurement list from a system with a different
endianness, a new boot command line parameter named "ima_canonical_fmt"
is defined.

Considerations: use of the "ima_canonical_fmt" boot command line option
will break existing userspace applications on big endian systems
expecting the binary_runtime_measurements list to be in platform native
format.

The configured IMA measurement list template format can be replaced at
runtime on the boot command line, including a custom template format.
This patch adds support for restoring a measuremement list containing
multiple builtin/custom template formats.

The TPM PCRs are only reset on a hard reboot.  In order to validate a
TPM's quote after a soft reboot (eg.  kexec -e), the IMA measurement
list of the running kernel must be saved and restored on boot.  This
patch restores the measurement list.

This patch allows users to provide a custom template format through the
new kernel command line parameter 'ima_template_fmt'. If the supplied
format is not valid, IMA uses the default template descriptor.

Changelog:
 - v3:
   - added check for 'fields' and 'num_fields' in
     template_desc_init_fields() (suggested by Mimi Zohar)

 - v2:
   - using template_desc_init_fields() to validate a format string
     (Roberto Sassu)
   - updated documentation by stating that only the chosen template
     descriptor is initialized (Roberto Sassu)

 - v1:
   - simplified code of ima_template_fmt_setup()

<title>ima: don't allocate a copy of template_fmt in template_desc_init_fields()</title>

<id>9f3166b8ca3b89c27b9f1c9039d3662ab7812cfa</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch removes the allocation of a copy of 'template_fmt', needed for
iterating over all fields in the passed template format string. The removal
was possible by replacing strcspn(), which modifies the passed string,
with strchrnul(). The currently processed template field is copied in
a temporary variable.

The purpose of this change is use template_desc_init_fields() in two ways:
for just validating a template format string (the function should work
if called by a setup function, when memory cannot be allocated), and for
actually initializing a template descriptor. The implementation of this
feature will be complete with the next patch.

Changelog:
 - v3:
   - added 'goto out' in template_desc_init_fields() to free allocated
     memory if a template field length is not valid (suggested by
     Mimi Zohar)

With the introduction of the 'ima_template_fmt' kernel cmdline parameter,
a user can define a new template descriptor with custom format. However,
in this case, userspace tools will be unable to parse the measurements
list because the new template is unknown. For this reason, this patch
modifies the current IMA behavior to display in the list the template
format instead of the name (only if the length of the latter is zero)
so that a tool can extract needed information if it can handle listed
fields.

This patch also correctly displays the error log message in
ima_init_template() if the selected template cannot be initialized.

Changelog:
 - v3:
   - check the first byte of 'e-&gt;template_desc-&gt;name' instead of using
     strlen() in ima_fs.c (suggested by Mimi Zohar)

 - v2:
   - print the template format in ima_init_template(), if the selected
     template is custom (Roberto Sassu)

 - v1:
   - fixed patch description (Roberto Sassu, suggested by Mimi Zohar)
   - set 'template_name' variable in ima_fs.c only once
     (Roberto Sassu, suggested by Mimi Zohar)
